For a start, I never said I expected to be able to research the curse. Do I want to? Yes. Do I think that being afraid of knowledge because someone someday might misuse it is shortsighted? Again, yes. But I am neither advocating for it nor intending to run out and do it.

Nor did I say people who arrive have it terrible. I did put forth a hypothesis that the reason the newer people were being so vocal was because they'd had no say in the decision before and had one now. And I stand by that. I may have my own reasons for not trusting Harry, but I was also perfectly willing to work with him as Minister as that was the hand I was dealt. Suggesting alternatives when he quit and no one seemed to want to do anything one way or another to fill that gap is not saying the way things are is terrible. It's saying that something needs to be done and if no one wants to move on as things are, maybe it's time for a change.

I also said nothing about whether we should or should not bring muggleborns here. I merely asked what we should do about them if we leave. As I am unaware that anyone has reached out to them yet, I don't see how we can know they've done fine without us.

But, I also don't see how living in separate disconnected groups with no real connection to each other or three muggle worldis going to be any better state of affairs.

I also don't see that we all can't stand each other. In fact, I think most of us are tolerant of most of the others. Are there some who don't get along? Of course. There always will be in any group of people greater than a handful. Are there some who don't know each other well? Again, of course. Not everyone is capable of opening up to strangers after just a few weeks. But, for the most part, I see no evidence that more than a few people feel strongly enough to say they can't stand each other.
